Fourteen years ago today, what can only be described as the defining political and cultural event of the western and middle worlds, possibly of the whole globe, for this generation. From one tragic day of wickedness, over a decade of conflict and suffering continues to grow and consume the world in flames of hatred and intolerance.

Without dwelling on the issue, or angsting too much, I leave you with this: Why do we continue to be so terrible to each other?
